Question Hid Bulb confirmation

So I recently put DDM tuning 55w 5000k HID lights and LED lights on my motorcycle and am on a kick to get my 2008 3 hooked up. I just wanted to know if these were the proper bulbs for the fog lights, and low beams.. I'm pretty sure with the searching I've done on this forum they are, just wanted that extra confirmation before pulling the trigger. So here I am to "ask the audience". Thanks for any help you throw my way.


For changing the Fog lights to LEDs: I found on the website superbrightleds.com the "HB4 DRL LED bulb".To match the HID kit color, I have selected the Natural White 1watt LED HB4-NW1W


Low Beams to Hid.
35W/4500k/H7 bulb

Thanks
Shifty

well the thing is, even the best LED's today at 1 watt are in the 100-150 lumen range - you need 7x that to get to a 35W halogen equivilant (800 lumens)... note the "not to be used as headlamp" warning on the page? that low output is why.
While these will likely 'work' they won't put out any amount of light compared to your original ones.
